Oh ESPN. You really don't need to improve the quality of your analysts.

Show a clip of Braun's diving catch. "That's something he really does well."

Apparently Braun is a top notch fielder.

You used ESPN and quality in the same thought????????????? Does not compute

So new rule, NBA: Unless you have a root canal at halftime, SHUT UP AND PLAY!

Woah, I didn't see that coming. I doubt Gonzalez keeps the offense going but he's a solid bat that can't do any worse than Escobar at this point. I'm going to miss Yunel's defense though, but I won't miss his pouting.

Selling low on Yunel seems dumb to me: Carer low in BABIP, power vanished, but everything else is similar.

Gonzalez is having a tremendous power surge, and is still walking at a 4.6% clip(That's bad.) It's not a huge hit defensively, but Escobar is better, and Escobar is younger. Unless Wren really believes in the power/the prospects, it's a very odd deal.

I think the bigger problem with Yunel is attitude. Cox has benched him numerous times for lack of hustle, and it was only a matter of time before he wore out his welcome. If you include that in the trade, it makes a little more sense, but regardless its still odd.

I'm not a huge A Gone fan, but I wont really miss Yunel's constant bitching. He was being a good boy this year, but his production has been subpar. He hasnt been helping the team offensively at all this year.

As for Jojo...oh happy day! The guy doesnt belong anywhere near the majors. He makes Kyle Davies look like Nolan Ryan.

Prospects...I'm actually pretty familiar with Collins, guy is pretty exciting to watch, just for the fact that he's a midget. But he's a big K guy, that could certainly be useful in relief pretty soon. Nice addition to this deal.

Pastornicky is a decent pickup...at least he's a speedier player, something our team/farm desperately needs. He's being projected as a future every day SS or 2B. Hopefully he pans out well, we tend to have a lot of good luck with middle IFs.

I wouldn't be sir prized if he passed McCoy on the depth chart. I think he might have a better arm and accurate arm then him from the highlights I thought. He also got some wheels too help us prepare for QB's as Wilson , RG3 and other runners etc.

That is awesome. Anyone know who that is or what team? Doesn't look like the big leagues

Im pretty sure its a minor league game....idk how long ago.

My home town Buffalo Bisons. Back in 1993 or 1994 at beautiful Pilot Field. Rich Aude, so sometime in the late era with the Pirates
